Can I ask readers for some help with this one?

I've had a few pieces on here about war memorials and it has always struck me how so many of these are then not recognised on 11th 11th 11th each year.

But then I have been asking around for a list or register of memorials and it seems there actually isn't one.

So it's a very simple request - do you know of where there are other memorials?

This one is in New Court in Hampstead, NW3 - it lists the 50 men who went to war from New Court and notes the 10 who died in the cause.

Even in autmun it has a small solitary poppy in the grill nest to it which is very good and a sign of the respect that these memorials are held in.
